It’s disappointing to hear that Arriva have pulled out of the scheme to have electric buses in Stevenage. They were going to get £6.1 million towards the cost. Arriva seem to be saying that this because not enough people are using buses in Stevenage.

At least as far as the SB7 to Great Ashby is concerned this might be because they often don’t turn up. I have heard stories of people having to set off a hour early for a 15 minute journey just to make sure that they get to work on time.
